What Hacker News says
2 sourcesHow will systemd-oomd communicate to the user?
I was using https://github.com/hakavlad/nohang
And it sent notification signaling to save your work before the application X will be killed. (I always wanted a way to click somewhere on the notification to prevent nohand from killing it when unwanted)
Also nohang use PSI data does oomd does it too?
Finally the author of nohang is working on arguably superior solutions:
https://github.com/hakavlad/prelockd
https://github.com/hakavlad/memavaild
https://github.com/hakavlad/le9-patch
It's unfortunate that systemd has chosen to integrate an inferior solution
